Bardo, I'll stop being such a narrow minded **** immediately. Thanks for shaking my tree.
Pete.... real good to see pictures of the hammer up close. Nice would be a severe understatement. Looked at the screen but couldn't help running my eyes over the rest of the curvaceous beauty, especially that lovely looking exhaust. Now I know what you were talking about!
Mark, I never even noticed your screen was non stock. Must get my eyes tested. Maybe going to have to get my periscope fitted with a reading lens.
Well this has been a good day of learning. It seems I'm not the only one around here who needs a little more wind protection.
Thanks all. Contemplation time......

Now I come to think of it my L/H silencer has developed an internal rattle. Weird! Bloody hell, does the beast ever stop demanding new parts?
Err.... don't bother answering that....

As my tailor used to say to me....
Never mind the quality, feel the width.
He was arrested shortly afterwards.

Damn she's looking good Hawk. Pimp away any time you damned well like.
Just trying to work out if that's a Brighton wall as your backdrop. Nice mist.

I'll check out the P/Bronze site and see if they've got anything for me.

This is a heartwarming story, Henry, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

Now back to the tall screens....
Maybe you should consider getting some of those neck ring things like those tribal women wear. It would keep your head from flapping in the breeze.

I have a stock screen, so I have no cool pics for you like the others....
